Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graphic design serves as a visual representation of every digital and physical product through the combination of images, fonts, and colors. It holds an important position in modern advertising, branding, web and editorial design, packaging, and in many other areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea to explore the history of graphic design as a part of this lab was inspired by visiting MoMA where I saw the image most popular in 1925 font. This area of study became of interest to me because I wanted to learn more about early graphic design artworks rooted in the very origins to see the progress of development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The timeline presents key moments of the graphic design history with visual elements and a brief description. Following the history of presented points, readers can notice that some of the techniques used in the early 90s are still actively used and remain popular in some of the modern works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Materials & Methods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cGraphic design never stops evolving \u2013 even as we talk about it right now\u201d<\/a> article and the \u201cGraphic design history: past, present, and future\u201d<\/a> book by Teal Triggs were used as the main source of information about events in the history of graphic design since 1906. Google Images<\/a>, Moma<\/a>, and Whitney<\/a> websites were used as sources of images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TimelineJS<\/a> open-source tool along with Google Spreadsheet<\/a> was used to visualize the main chronological events of graphic design history. All the dates, events, brief descriptions, and JPG images links were pasted into appropriate columns of Google Spreadsheet which were published to the web to make the timeline publicly available. The TimelineJS preview tool was used in the process of building a timeline to monitor incorporated changes.
